Bow thruster finally works

[Donald]

After over a years work on and off the bow thruster is in the boat and working fine.

Issues were:

1) overheat thermistor permanently open
2) joystick work only to the right
3) new joystick (same exact model) need a wiring modification in the bow thruster wiring.

On the positive side I can now remove and reinstall it in an hour or two. It's under a medium size hatch which only allows minimum access. Much needs to be done by feel.

I know exactly how it's wired and where the solenoid is that I first missed.

Wife is happy there is no longer a bow thruster & control solenoid & medium 12V battery and DVM meter and jump leads by my TV chair.

Docking will be easier

My brother had a 35' sailboat when he lived in Miami. He was on first name basis with the staff at West Marine. Sold it and got a 35' Grady White outfitted for fishing. Same result. We used to haul in king and dolphin. Those were some tasty and expensive fish.

If you use the boat for fishing, the cost should be tax deductible. Fishing is therapy.

No fish guts on my boat.
